Yes - so typically you would decrement a counter and take drastic action once it gets to 0.
If the timeout is exceeded, then the current process will exit. If the task process is linked to the current process which is the case when a task is started with async, then the task process will also exit.
So Task.await/2 will automatically take drastic action after the first timeout. Task.yield/2 leaves the response to a timeout entirely up to you.
